TTK activates ATR through RPA2 phosphorylation to promote olaparib resistance in ovarian cancer.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Resistance to poly(ADP‒ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) remains a significant challenge in ovarian cancer (OC) treatment. TTK protein kinase (TTK) has been implicated in cisplatin resistance in OC, but its role in PARPi resistance remains unclear. In this research, we found that TTK inhibition overcome olaparib resistance in HR-proficient OC cells, whereas TTK promotes olaparib resistance in HR-deficient OC cells. Mechanistically, TTK directly interacts with RPA2, facilitating phosphorylation of its S33 residue to activate the ATR signaling pathway. Knocking down RPA2 increased olaparib sensitivity in OC cells. Additionally, TTK-mediated resistance to olaparib through the RPA2/ATR signaling pathway was confirmed via both in vitro and in vivo models. In conclusion, TTK inhibition overcomes olaparib resistance in HR-proficient OC cells, in part by suppressing RPA2-S33 phosphorylation and attenuating ATR signaling. TTK inhibitors offer a promising strategy to increase the therapeutic efficacy of PARPis in OC patients.
